The United States men’s basketball team saved their best for last, capping an occasionally precarious Olympic tournament with a stress-free 96-66 rout of Serbia to capture yet another gold medal in the final event of the Rio Games.

The US men’s basketball team caused a stir when they announced they’d be staying on a luxury cruise ship rather than roughing it in the Olympic village. But Jimmy Butler, the Chicago Bulls star, might have wished his team were with the other athletes in the spartan Rio dorms – he’s not a fan of the water.

It’s hard enough finding suitable accommodation when you’re 7ft tall, so the Dallas Mavericks’ and Australia center Andrew Bogut may not have been expecting too much when he turned up at the athletes’ village before the start of the Rio Olympics.
